    <thetext>When the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is a video, the KDE wallpaper (via Configure -&gt; Desktop Settings -&gt; Wallpaper Type: &quot;Picture of the Day&quot;, Provider: &quot;Astronomy (NASA)&quot;) comes out as a solid black background.

Example, from today, 2020-08-05 (August 5, 2020): https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200805.html shows a YouTube video (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_UOLpUDwpU).  Because of this, my desktop background is blank (solid black).

It would be nice to either (a) continue using a previous day&apos;s APOD picture, or better yet, (b) use a snapshot of the YouTube video. This appears to be possible by fetching from a well-defined URL: https://img.youtube.com/vi/&lt;VIDEO ID&gt;/maxresdefault.jpg
 (In the example above, it would be https://img.youtube.com/vi/X_UOLpUDwpU/maxresdefault.jpg)</thetext>
